When the horizon of mountain ridges around Higashiyama starts to turn faintly white at dusk, Kyoto begins to be enveloped in a magical shimmering shade of pale, as if movement itself is stopped in its tracks. The following morning at dawn, as the Kamogawa river slowly turns from a monotone shade and gets colored in by the approaching sunlight, the temple roofs lining the river gleam with the refracted light, signaling the awakening of Kyoto from slumber and the beginning of another day. In this brief pause, as one approaches the mirrored lake of Ginkakuji (the Golden Pavilion), you can witness the magical transition in hue, the temple building that is still silvery and dusky turning slowly golden.
These quintessentially Japanese landscapes - golden pavilions, cherry trees, Noh actors - are adeptly captured in monochrome in these photographs.
